OUR CSN STORY

Founded in 2004, CSN Boston currently hosts two music benefit showcases each year highlighting female singer/songwriters.

During COVID-19 pandemic, our Spring and Fall 2020 shows, as well as our Spring 2021 show was cancelled. In an effort to keep the music flowing, CSN Boston began "Artists in the Round" virtual music showcase benefit shows.

Thanks to our many generous supporters, these fundraising events have enabled CSN Boston to donate ~$26,000 in the past seventeen years to support music programs in the Boston-area.
